NanoKnife® Prostate Cancer Ablation

As a urologist committed to offering advanced, organ-sparing treatments, I am pleased to provide NanoKnife® Irreversible Electroporation (IRE) — a state-of-the-art, non-thermal ablation option for men with localized prostate cancer.

NanoKnife delivers high-voltage electrical pulses to selectively disrupt cancer cell membranes, leading to cell death while preserving critical structures such as the neurovascular bundles, urethra, and rectum. Because it does not rely on heat or cold, NanoKnife minimizes collateral damage and is ideal for tumors located near functionally sensitive areas.

This minimally invasive, image-guided procedure is typically performed under general anesthesia with short recovery times and low complication rates. For appropriately selected patients, NanoKnife offers effective focal therapy with reduced risk of side effects like urinary incontinence and erectile dysfunction.

NanoKnife may be an excellent option for:

  • Patients with localized, low- to intermediate-risk prostate cancer
  • Men seeking a focal therapy alternative to whole-gland treatments
  • Patients with recurrence after radiation therapy
